Lincolnshire SEO Challenge 2011

Lincolnshire SEO Challenge 2011

There is now a near countless number of freelance consultants and companies specialising in search engine optimisation or SEO as it is often abbreviated to.  But how can you decide which company or individual is going to do the best job for you?  Well there is very little in the way of national accreditation or qualifications you can look for, the most important thing of course is results for prior and existing clients.  Never take a companies word for their ability to achieve your goals, always look for testimonials and references from clients.

One other way of SEO experts proving their worth is by entering an SEO competition.  LincSEO Web Challenge has been specifically setup for Lincolnshire based businesses to compete against each other for the title of ‘Lincolnshire SEO Challenge Winner 2011′.

Spiral Media state that they set up after conducting market research into the Web Design market in Lincolnshire revealed a less than satisfactory level in quality and service and less than acceptable value for money. Whilst Lincoln Website Design can’t say that we agree with that statement nor do we think it’s a particularly honourable sales strategy to make yourself appear better by putting those around you down; we do think it’s a shame that Spiral Media didn’t just let their portfolio do the talking.

10 Website Tips

Top 10 Website Tips

Top 10 Website Tips

1 ) Choose colours carefully – As nice as your company colours may well work in a logo or on a business card be aware that if you want someone to read and understand your content then they will soon give up if the colours are brash, harsh or hard to see.  Particular no-no’s are dark text on a black background, light text on a light background and bright coloured text on bright coloured backgrounds!

2 ) Don’t annoy your visitors! – It may sound obvious but unless your goal is to get visitors to leave as soon as possible then don’t do things to annoy them.  Top of that list are pop-up’s, mandatory sign-up forms, advert overloads and auto-play music.

3 ) Visitors don’t like waiting – Whilst that animation and gorgeous high resolution images and range of adverts and mini game and high definition video may look great, visitors won’t wait the 5 minutes for the page to load so no-one will ever get to see it.  Keep the loading times fast to keep visitors coming back.

4 ) Keep things consistent – Keep all the pages and sections of your website consistent in layout and design.  Always keep menus in the same place throughout.  Doing this will keep your site easy to navigate and not confuse any visitors.

5 ) Check your website on multiple browsers – Before you unleash your website on the world, make sure you check it in a variety of internet browsers.  A site may look amazing in Internet Explorer but all over the place in Firefox.
